Fn+delete on MacBookAir no longer working?

What happened to fn+delete for forward deleting on the MBA? I just notice that it stopped working over the past few weeks.
Any ideas?

Before deciding that your fn key (or anything else) is dead: create a new user on your mac with plain jane preferences and applications. Then try using the computer for normal full operations with the basics _*NO ADDONS*_ and see what is normal and what might be problematic, while there, check both the Console logs and Activity Monitor.
If you can do normal operations on test user, then the problem is something that you have done on your own user account... not the system.

My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my phone, but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it.

My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. I have lost all music & data that was on this original itunes. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone (music & photos) onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my iphone (3GS), but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it. Help please!!

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices in itunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal or Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.

On a web page with an editable table, the delete row function no longer works (the little circle with X button)

When you try to delete a row in an editable table using the built-in functions, it no longer works. We use this function regularly and just noticed this problem today. The "create row above" and "create row below" functions work, just not the delete. The delete column button does work however, so it's a bit baffling why this one function does not work. (The pages are located on our internal server so are not publicly accessible but the functionality is built into firefox.)

Same problem here. I found out that when you have a table with only 1 row, it works fine, but when you have multiple rows, it doesn't work on any row.
Micmark, do you have that too?
P.S. I also tried this outside our CMS, by using Firebug to add a contenteditable="true" on a DIV in a normal font-end template, and that has the same problem.

The swipe to delete a podcast no longer works

When i sipe left to right to delete a podcast on ipad 2, it no longer works. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

Try quitting the Music app, restart the iPad and the see if you can swipe to delete the podcast (assuming that this is an audio podcast).
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to the Music app and try again.
In the videos app - tap and hold down on the icon and the X to delete will pop up - or tap the edit button and the X will pop up.

I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
Please help.

Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

How do I delete an old Apple ID stuck to iCloud when the email address no longer works and neither do the passwords or security questions?

I know I shouldn't have, but I put in my new Apple ID before deleting the old one which was an email address that had shut down. Now the password, rescue address, security questions all don't work and I cannot access the old email address because it no longer works. I cannot delete the old ID from iCloud because I have to put in a password to shutdown find my iphone first. I am going around in circles. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Got the answer--- called apple support--- very helpful--very quick

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
/Library/Printers/Canon
and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.

You can contact iTunes and ASK for a refund. Then make make an exception to their all sale are final policy.

My youtube app is no longer working on my iphone 3. Others, with the same phone, are not having the problem. It works occassionally, but it's unpredictable. I've updated phone software, deleted the app, re-downloaded the app, turned the phone off and on...nothing.

You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor. Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.

Why can't I delete items from my iPod (and not from my library)- I tried creating a playlist as manual suggested but this no longer works, any ideas?

Previous to latest changes in iTunes I have been able to delete items on my iPod by simply clicking on and deleting when prompted for action by right click. This has become impossible and even the instructions to creat a playlist by clicking on "add to" no longer work. I seem to be unable to delete anything unless I delete it from my iTunes library. Anyone out there know the solution or working on the problem? Seems to me that if the product wasn't broke Apple should not fix it.....they should stop tinkering with it, please.

You've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question isn't related to. You will have better luck posting to the iPod Nano forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_nano

'Undo' no longer working in Outlook inbox after a message delete

I've been using Outlook 2010 for a couple of years; I used to occasionally use 'Undo' (or ctrl-Z) to bring back a message I had just deleted from Inbox after reading it. It was a limited undo - I could only bring back the one message - but it did get back
a single message if I had just been a bit too hasty with the Del key.
Now recently that no longer works - instead of getting the message back, after a few seconds I get a dialog message "Cannot undo. Operation failed. The item was either moved or deleted after it was copied, or you do not have permission". If I go
to the 'Deleted Items' folder the message is there and can be either opened or dragged back to the Inbox, so I can get it back but it is a nuisance to lose the quick undo.
Has this behavior been changed by a software update? I don't believe I have changed any account settings or Outlook option settings, but if this is controlled by an option can someone point me to it? I've tried searching the 'Help' and found nothing relevant.
Thanks in advance
Steve M.

I suspect that you have only downloaded message header and the headers that were not yet downloaded remain marked for deletion, and there is not an option on the
Edit menu to undelete the selected item.
Go to Define Send/Receive Group and set download message completely for your account.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281366
When you delete a header and delete a downloaded message item, it is two distinct processes. When you click an item and either drag it to the deleted items folder (in Microsoft Outlook) or click the
Delete button, the item is moved from the Inbox folder to the Deleted Items folder. If you click
Undelete, it moves the item back. If you delete a header (the item has not yet been downloaded), it only marks the item for deletion. Until the command to delete is sent back to the e-mail server where the item still remains, the item is not
un-marked for deletion. This is the difference between client-side processing and server-side processing. Until the server receives the command to delete the message, the item remains marked for deletion. The only way to "unmark" the item is to right-click
that item, and then click to select Unmark selected headers.

After upgrading the new operating system on my Droid Razr M it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select multiple message you have to delete them individually or the entire thread. Is there a way to get these back?

Well, that's kind of embarrassing. And I honestly thought I paid attention to that... It works perfectly now, thank you so much!
As expected, cdm-git also works fine since DMs only work in the root mode as of now.
Just for the record, both type commands output "/usr/bin/startx" and pacman -Q gives "systemd 215-4".

My ipad air was bought and activated AFTER September 1st (activated December 25th) and I downloaded pages, keynote and numbers. I then changed my Apple ID as the password no longer worked, These apps had to be deleted as I needed to update them. Now I cannot get the free version on my ipad. I have searched the internet to see if there is a solution, and I found a few but unfortunately none have worked. I desperately need these apps as my iPad is used for school. Is this an issue I should take up with the apple support centre or something? Please help! Thanks

Mac OS X v 10.5.8.    My "Weather" on the dashboard no long works. I have deleted it and added it anew and it still does not work. How can I get it back?

My "Weather" on the dashboard no long works. I have deleted it and added it anew and it still does not work. How can I get it back?

You must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.(10.9/Mavericks is the only download avaiable now without specially calling Apple).
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273
Other countries...

It looks like they might still have it...
